Lip Treatments -Blistex - Deep Renewal

Horrid stuff. See other reviewers who said it made their lips drier than they'd been before they used it. People either seem to love this or hate it - maybe those of us who hate it have a sensitivity to an ingredient. Whatever - it is AWFUL. Does not moisturize, does not last, does not smell/feel/taste good, and comes in a really stupid lipstick-like tube that doesn't stay up when you twist it. I can't decide whether to return it to the store, call Blistex and demand a refund, or just bung it in the trash and be done. The thing is, I do this frequently with this cheap crap and end up wasting a ton of money, 2 or 3 bucks at a time, and I'm sick of it. This product does NOTHING that it advertises and they need to know that. Grrrr.

Lotions/ Creams -DDF - Pedi-Cream

Well, I'd buy this again if not for the excessively prohibitive price. I LOVE the way it smells, I LOVE the way it feels on my feet, and I LOVE the way it makes my feet feel, both while it's on and after it's off. It softens and refreshes my feet, and I'm in a job where I'm standing all day. I just wish it weren't so expensive.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'N Soft Mascara

If you're looking for a lengthening vs. thickening mascara, this is the best one out there, hands down. Cheap cheap cheap and does just as good a job as the expensive ones. Stay away from the waterproof version though. Piece of junk.

Sunscreen -DDF - Enhancing Sun Protection SPF 30 [DISCONTINUED]

Well, I got this as a sample at Sephora. The DDF rep was there and of course she went on and on about it, and of course I was skeptical. Well, I love it! It develops nicely on my fair skin. I don't notice any color change or self-tanning effect, but I DO notice that I don't have to use any foundation after applying this. And the 30 SPF means I don't need a sunscreen underneath. It is a funny greyish-purplish color coming out of the tube, but it blends evenly and easily. And I just invested in a full-size tube after running out of the sample and finding myself disappointed in the performance of my other facial sunscreens. 30 bucks is a lot to spend, but 4 oz. is a LOT of moisturizer, especially if it can double as a light summer foundation. Based on other reviews, it seems this product must develop in a less flattering way on some folks, so I suggest you try before you buy.
